This hearty chicken pot pie features tender chicken, colorful vegetables, and a creamy filling all tucked under a golden, flaky crust. Perfect for cozy family dinners or using up leftover roasted chicken! It uses straightforward ingredients (many of which could tie into farm-fresh vibes like veggies and herbs), I wanted to keep the steps beginner-friendly, and delivering that classic cozy comfort food feel.
